Terrain loader delay in build

[Gustavo]

 

I have a terrain of 5 x 1 tiles and loading option od runtime.

I place the custom player in one end of the terrain, lets say terrain 0, and all the terrain unloaded. While i enter run in unity thi terrsons load as expected. BUT if i build this project this same project does not work.

The cystom player falls into the water as it takes more time in the build than in unity editor. ( should this be all the way around?).

I also set a delay in enabling the custom llsyer rigidbody of 50 seconds, and this also did not work in built project.

As suggested previously i unloaded all the terrains before build the project.

And also i included all the terrains scenes in the build.

Any suggestions?

My workaround was to place a stone below the custom player in the msin scene  so it would be loaded at the begining. This worked fine, but i think it should work the same way as in runtime.

Its hard to say exactly, this would be the correct thing to do. 
Unload the scenes, add the scenes to the build settings, etc. 

That would force me to believe that the player is not set up correctly. 

You could check the Terrain Loader Manager in the Gaia Runtime and make sure that the Terrain Loader Component has the player and its set tp Runtime Always. 

I did run a test and its working for me. Maybe you can compare settings to see what could potentially be the matter.

the settings are a bit differnt since i use the current gaia pro 2021 version.

in this version i dont see under the runtime, the object Player, which has (accordingly to the secon scrren shot) the script gaia scene player.

In my custom player gaia only added 2 scripts :

 

and the terrain loader is like you showed:

 

I also added the scenes involved in the build:

@Gustavo You could do a hack of the Wait For Terrain Load script and subscribe to the terrain loading events and once the terrain is loaded enable the rigidbody components. I did this for my current project (20x20 tiles) and it works without fail regardless of where the player is position and without any terrain loaded under the player at run-time or build.  There is a bit of a bug in the PW wait for terrain load script with validation the player into the scene as it's testing the bounds of terrains but all references refer back to the gaia player GO and/or Gaia Runtime GO which because it finds them on the terrain (not yet loaded) dismisses the actual functionality of the script so it actually activates before it should or never activates. So I hacked their script and added in the events like the "loading screen script does" and works just fine.  The script is not yet "clean" but works perfectly as I stated, regardless of where you position the player in the world. You can unload all terrains and go into play mode or build and player will not spawn until the terrain is completely loaded.

here is my hack of PWs Wait for Terrain Load script with the above mentioned subscription events:
